This morning a colleague of mine came into my office with an extremely sullen face. She had her wallet stolen while grocery shopping for her Thanksgiving Feast at a local supermarket. Obviously, unable to purchase her groceries, she sprinted home to start calling her credit card companies and such.
Several questions raced through her mind on the drive home, "How would she know who to call? What cards were in her wallet? How was she going to find the phone numbers for the credit card companies that she could remember?"
Then it dawned on her...several months ago a friend had been through a similar situation in which his wallet was stolen. Based on his experience he suggested that she make a copy of all of the items in her wallet. This way if she were ever so unfortunate to misplace/lose it - she would know exactly what companies to call to cancel cards and freeze accounts. In addition, the phone numbers of the creditors are typically on the back side of the card.
I just made a copy of my wallet. When will you?
